Robotics
I have devoted a great deal of my time to growing my school's robotics club. The club was founded in the fall of 2018 by 2 of my friends and I, and has grown significantly over the past two years both in numbers and experience. In 2019 we debuted as two teams in the First Tech Challenge (FTC) national robotics competition and made it all the way to State Championship. Beyond our competitions, Chatfield Robotics provides a supportive and inclusive community built on exploring robotics technology.
